USING THE RANGE: Cookware for Radiant Glass Cooktop
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.
NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the ceramic cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues 
sometimes appear as scratches on the 
cooktop but can be removed if cleaned 
immediately. Because of its low melting 
point, thin weight aluminum should not 
be used.
Copper Bottom:
Copper may leave residues which can 
appear as scratches. The residues can 
be removed, as long as the cooktop 
is cleaned immediately. However, do 
not let these pots boil dry. Overheated 
metal can bond to glass cooktops. An 
overheated copper bottom pot will leave 
a residue that will permanently stain the 
cooktop if not removed immediately.
Enamel (painted) on Cast Iron:
recommended if bottom of pan is coated
Avoid/Not Recommended

surface.
